One imagines that there must be raised voices within the FL arguing that they should be made an example of pour encourager les autres. Presumably those sentiments are currently being moderated by a wish to avoid more unpleasantness, but presumably also there has to be a 'last straw' point

Hey. Its what they do

All those P*mpey Dreamers biting their nails as they sit by the phone waiting to learn their P*mpey Fates (TM & Copyright Neil Allen)

I fixed it for you Plus Birch is like the 'straight' man in their double act, which I always find more amusing than the ostentatious caperings of the 'funny' man (AA)

I stand corrected

Re. POL: what he runs there reminds me of a parochial house, Father Ted style. Outdated, festering like Father Jack's favourite armchair & peopled by sad, morally blinkered characters who are actually quite happy as they are. Probably kindest to leave them with their illusions

Well put

It might be fun to speculate on what the landlord of said LCS is pulling for him. Fools Gold (4% abv, Four Thorns of York New Brewery) perhaps? Or how about Tick or Cheat (4.0% abv, Buntingford) Or Ship of Fools (6.7% abv, Ramsgate)

The ends of natural justice will be served if they go phut. On the other hand they have, since 2009, been the cause of more hilarity and coffee-ruined keyboards than anyone or anything else I can think of. The fact is that its completely free of charge, has gone on for so long, & looks likely to Carry On* for some time yet. Their almost total inability to understand why everyone else finds their plight so funny is the icing on the cake. Lor' bless 'em * maybe one of our more artistically gifted members could draft a poster for 'Carry On P*mpey'? With the usual suspects of course

Come on lads you can hold out that long, just another 10 days, never mind the blue phew, think how you could become Living Legends for 10's of thousands of Saints

I fixed it for you Job jobbed

I'll take the lego

Permission to be confused? I thought the players were secured via the FC rule before all this happened

wtfiln :D :D :D :D

Seems Gillett chose to walk away from his P*mpey Dream: http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-past/pompey-to-lose-gillett-1-4108562

Nicely put I've yet to hear PFC mentioned anywhere in the last few years without laughing, which I'm sure won't worry the deluded phew in the slightest In future I should imagine they will be the cautionary tale that mothers tell their offspring, 'ffs don't rip people off, you'll end up like the skates without a pot to p*ss in'

Poetic licence

Courage, mon brave: the pigeons are - however belatedly - coming come to roost. No matter how much they wriggle, they can't escape the fact they have become the laughing stock of the English game and I four one am looking forward to the next fortnight with considerable relish

One might reasonably expect the FL to have something to say about that. There again this is the DFCBS and they don't seem to learn, at least in their current incarnation - gazumping clubs that do spend within their means for the best players is what got them where they are, so for us its win-win - they can carry on as they did before and we can eat popcorn watching it all unravel again, or they can start trying to live within their means and we can enjoy their consequent humiliation

Confucious he say drowning man clutches at straws

whats to hate? what goes around comes around

Yes, but those would be the actions of a club that wasn't permanently entitled to a place at the top table

Brilliant. The one on the bottom right looks handy

Another one that can't understand why the world doesn't revolve around them

From Wikipedia: Narcissism In clinical psychology and psychiatry, an unrealistic, exaggerated, or rigidly held sense of entitlement may be considered a symptom of narcissistic personality disorder, seen in those who 'because of early frustrations...arrogate to themselves the right to demand lifelong reimbursement from fate. (Otto Fenichel, The Psychoanalytic Theory of Neurosis (London 1946) p. 499) That is all
